Pomeroy, PA population, income and ZIP codes

Pomeroy CDP is a very small community in Pennsylvania, with 902 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1040 of 2,002 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 32 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Pomeroy CDP earn a median of $68,750 a year, 12.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% below the $71,118 median for the 982 Pennsylvania cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pomeroy CDP is valued at $235,000, 22.5% below the national figure and 22% above the $193,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,050 a month, 45.8% above the national figure, or roughly $24,600 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 35.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Pomeroy CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 35.8% of median income while homes cost only 3.4× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 902 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Pomeroy CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
